low tranny fluid?! why! so confused...
Background: about 2 months ago i put in the tc and shift kit. things went well and everything has worked since then.
ok.. heres the odd issue:
i go to check my tranny fluid about 3 weeks ago. and the level is fine, both the 2 dots are filled with nice pink tranny fluid.
today i decide to check the tranny fluid again. i park the car, leave it idling and check the level. both dots are not filled. i did it again couple more times and thought that was weird... so i pour in half a court and check it. still not filled.
i buy 2 more quarts. this time i warm up the car, turn off the car, and then check it. pour 1 quart in, 1 dot is filled. so i pour another 1/4 of a quart in and still 1 dot.
now, i turn the car on and let it idle while i check the fluid. still shows only 1 dot. pour the rest of the last quart in and still shows one dot. i do this for about 40 minutes.
so in the end, i used 2 1/2 quarts of tranny fluid. and only 1 dot is filled.
no leaks no spill. bottom of the car all clean.
Notes: tranny low and i dont know why. 3 weeks and half the tranny fluid disappears.... ne ideas?
